Ich legte meinen Arm um die schlanke Taille des kräftigen Mannes

Kapitel 16

"Brother, stop sleeping! It's noon, get up and eat!" Yueying shouted. This was her daily routine for the past ten days—dig Aojun out of bed to eat.

"Hmm," Ao Jun mumbled a sleepy reply, turned around and wrapped herself up even tighter, continuing to sleep, ignoring the loud noise.

Seeing that Ao Jun still ignored her, Yue Ying continued to shout, "Brother, if you don't get up, I'm going to use my ultimate move!" Seeing that Ao Jun didn't react to her 'threat', Yue Ying had no choice but to use her ultimate move—she reached out and pulled off the blanket covering Ao Jun, a move that always worked.

The sudden blast of cold air made Ao Jun shiver: It's so cold! Her dazed mind gradually returned, and she hugged her arms tightly with her hands crossed. Ao Jun slowly opened her eyes and met Yue Ying's playful and lively eyes.

"Ying'er, stop playing around like that, give me back my blanket, it's so cold!" Ao Jun said helplessly, but his tone was unusually doting. At Yue Ying's request, Ao Jun started calling her Ying'er.

Although she outwardly blamed her younger sister for disturbing her sleep every day and waking her up from the cold, she actually felt a deep sense of sweetness inside.

Ling Aojun was fearless since childhood, except for her deepest fears of the cold and not getting enough sleep. Back when he was still alive, he would yell at her to get up in winter. If she didn't get up, he would pull back her blankets, but then, worried she'd get cold, he'd hold her small body in his arms, gently tap her red nose, and jokingly scold, "You! It's almost noon and you're still lazing in bed. Be careful you never get married!" At this, she would giggle and hug his neck, saying she wouldn't get married and wanted to stay by her father's side forever. But this happy life was taken from her after a car accident. Now, Ying'er has been waking her up every day for the past few days, making her feel like she's back in the past, and her mood has improved greatly.

"No, I won't give it to you unless you get up," Yueying muttered, then ran over and hugged Aojun's arm, pleading, "Brother, don't sleep anymore, come and eat, try some of the new dishes Ying'er made." Before Aojun could react, she pulled her to sit at the table. Looking at the delicious-looking food on the table, Aojun shook his head and smiled, "Ying'er's cooking is comparable to Mother's! Whoever marries you will be so lucky." But between eating and snuggling in bed, she preferred sleeping, Aojun thought to himself.

"Brother, you're just talking nonsense." Hearing Ao Jun's words, Yue Ying blushed and spat. She picked up the fox fur cloak that she had prepared beforehand and draped it over Ao Jun's shoulders. Yue Ying had specially asked Wei Ziqi to find it for her after knowing that Ao Jun was afraid of the cold.

"Ying'er?" Feeling a warmth on her body, Ao Jun touched the cloak she was wearing in surprise. It was so warm!

"Hehe...Do you like the gift Ying'er gave you, brother?" Yueying sat down next to Aojun and asked playfully.

"Ying'er." Overwhelmed with emotion, Ao Jun pulled Yue Ying into his arms, gently stroking her hair, and chuckled, "I like it, how could I not like it? I love anything Ying'er gives me the most."

"Brother." Yueying was startled by Aojun's sudden hug, then blushed and wrapped her arms around his waist, saying shyly. Her heart was pounding so hard because her brother was hugging her like that! She was so happy and excited!

"Ying'er, don't you like it when your brother holds you like this?" Ao Jun teased. She had always wanted a younger sister, and now that she had such a sweet little sister, she was overjoyed.

"I...I like it. But will you hold me like this forever, brother?" Yueying's face was so red it was almost bleeding. She was happy but also a little worried, afraid that her brother would fall in love with someone else and stop holding her.

"Hehe... As long as Ying'er is happy, I will always hold her like this." After a pause, Ao Jun suddenly lowered his head and chuckled mischievously, "Because holding Ying'er is very warm. You know, I'm most afraid of the cold. With a free heater, how could I bear to let go!" He barely managed to suppress his laughter, almost bursting out laughing.

"Brother...you're so naughty!" Her voice was so sweet it made one's bones go weak. Yueying lowered her head so low it almost touched the ground, then, as if remembering something, she asked, "Brother, what is a heater?"

“Something like Ying’er, who can keep me warm, is a heater.” Ao Jun said this with great seriousness, but in reality, he was almost bursting with suppressed anger.

"Oh." She gave a blank "oh," then realized something was off. After a moment's thought, she said reproachfully, "Fine, brother, you're calling me a 'furnace' in a roundabout way. See how I beat you up." As she spoke, she started tickling Ao Jun's waist.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay? Hehe... Good Ying'er, please forgive me! Hehe..." Ao Jun chuckled and begged for forgiveness, but still held Yue Ying tightly. How could he easily let go of the free heater?

Seeing her brother, who always had a cold and aloof expression in front of others, now smiling so happily in front of her, hugging her and playing with her, Yueying thought: Her brother is indeed special to her; he truly loves her, that's why he treats her like this. Their love will blossom. Unfortunately, she misjudged the situation.

"It seems I've come at the wrong time." A chilling voice suddenly rang out as the two embraced and played.

"Your Highness?" The two looked up in surprise at Jinxuan, who stood with his arms crossed at the entrance of the tent.

"Uh? Your Highness must have something to discuss with you, Brother. I have something to do, so I'll go out for a bit. Brother, remember to eat!" Yueying reluctantly withdrew from Aojun's embrace. Although she was reluctant, the look in the Prince's eyes, which seemed to want to burn her, was truly terrifying.

"Hmm." Ao Jun's smile faded, and she nodded slightly. Upon seeing Jin Xuan arrive, Ao Jun reverted to her usual cold demeanor.

Seeing Yueying leave, Aojun turned to Ouyang Jinxuan, who had already sat down in front of her, and said unhappily, "Your Highness's sudden arrival, what brings you here?" She hadn't provoked him, so why was he staring at her with such anger? Was she seeing things? Why did she feel that Ouyang Jinxuan's eyes were filled with jealousy just now? Who was he jealous of? And the way he looked now, it was like... like he had caught his wife cheating on him. She must be mistaken, how could that be?

"Seeing that the strategist hadn't appeared for many days, I wanted to come and see if something had happened to him, but I didn't expect that strategist Mo would be so carefree," Jin Xuan said sarcastically.

The scene he had just witnessed caused him a pang of heartache. He desperately wanted to pull Mo Yueying away from her embrace. The smile on Mo Jun's face, one he had never seen before, filled him with both amazement and rage. Why did she never smile like that at him, not even a single smile, yet she smiled so happily at that woman? He was so jealous! Realizing he was actually jealous for Mo Jun, Jin Xuan was deeply shocked, but he couldn't help but speak up. He simply didn't want to see the two of them embracing so intimately. His reason at the time was that he couldn't stand this 'heartless and unfaithful' man toying with a woman's feelings once again.

"Your Highness's concern for me is truly an honor." Her indifferent tone belied her words. For some reason, she couldn't help but bicker with Ouyang Jinxuan whenever she saw him. And why did his tone sound so sour?

"The army cannot be without Military Advisor Mo, so of course I have to 'show some concern'," Jin Xuan said with a double meaning.

“My title of military advisor is merely nominal; Your Highness is the true soul of the army,” Ao Jun retorted without backing down.

"It seems that Military Advisor Mo is blaming me for not giving you real power." The fox's tail is already showing so quickly?

"How dare I?" Without waiting for Jinxuan's reply, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating. The dish was really delicious.

Seeing that Ao Jun completely ignored him and was enjoying the food cooked by Mo Yueying, Jin Xuan's anger intensified. The chill emanating from his body was colder than the weather outside, causing Ao Jun to quickly wrap herself tighter in her fox fur coat. Jin Xuan noticed her action and stared intently at the cloak with a deep gaze.

"It seems Military Advisor Mo and General Wei have a very good relationship! He even gave you his most beloved cloak." The tone was so sour, the tent instantly filled with the smell of vinegar. (Having finished being jealous of Mo Yueying, now it's Wei Ziqi's turn?)

The Strategist and the Princess: Battlefield Chapter Sixteen - Ambiguous Relationship

"It seems that Military Advisor Mo and General Wei have a very good relationship! He even gave you his most beloved cloak." The tone was so sour, and the tent was instantly filled with the smell of vinegar.

"A cloak? Oh, Ying'er knew I was afraid of the cold, so she specially found it for me. It was General Wei's." Ao Jun said nonchalantly, still looking down at the delicious food.

"Miss Mo is truly virtuous, and Military Advisor Mo is truly blessed to have such a 'sister'." As he spoke, he deliberately emphasized the word "sister," and after glancing at the food prepared by Mo Yueying, who was wrapped in Wei Ziqi's cloak and eating with her head down, Jin Xuan found it extremely irritating. A sarcastic smile appeared on his lips: "Military Advisor Mo has a 'new love,' but I wonder if he still remembers the 'old one'." He still remembered the girl named Qing'er.

"What new and old people? Your Highness, forgive my ignorance, but I do not know who Your Highness is referring to." Ao Jun finally looked up at Jin Xuan, frowning slightly. What's wrong with this man today? He always speaks with double meanings, and I have no idea what he's talking about.

"Don't know? It seems that Strategist Mo is 'forgetful of important matters'. Then let me remind you, do you remember the scene when we first met?" This damned 'heartless man', could he really have forgotten the girl he 'abandoned'?

"Hmm." Ao Jun responded lightly, displeased. Thinking of that time, Ao Jun was furious. This boring and strange prince.

"Then you should still remember who caused our conflict back then, right?" Jinxuan kindly reminded him again.

"Your Highness is referring to... Mo Qing?" Why bring up Mo Qing out of the blue? Is this related to her?

"Mo Qing? She's from Mo Family Village? Then she..." Jin Xuan asked, slightly surprised. If that Qing'er really is from Mo Family Village, then will she also be unable to escape this disaster?

"Yes, she's Village Chief Mo's daughter. She didn't escape the massacre this time," Ao Jun said calmly, as if she were talking about a stranger. Only she knew how much pain Ouyang Jinxuan's mention of Mo Family Village caused her. After her father's death, she had become accustomed to hiding her true emotions with indifference.

"You..." Seeing Ao Jun so calmly recount the death of the woman who once 'loved' her so much and only wanted to marry her, Jin Xuan slammed his fist on the table and stood up, easily provoked again. Taking a deep breath, Jin Xuan slowly calmed himself down, and once again coldly mocked, "It seems that Military Advisor Mo is not saddened at all by Mo Qing's death. Perhaps he is even glad that he has finally gotten rid of Mo Qing's entanglement? Tell me, am I right?" The rapidly cooling temperature made people think that the anger just now was just an illusion.

"So what if I'm right, so what if I'm wrong? This is just my private matter, it seems to have nothing to do with Your Highness, does it?" Ao Jun put down his chopsticks, crossed his arms, and glanced sideways at Jin Xuan. He had an air of 'What business is it of yours what I do?'

"Since you are now my strategist, I naturally have to concern myself with your affairs. Besides, I promised Miss Mo Qing that I would stand up for her. So, strategist Mo, tell me, does this matter have anything to do with me?" Jin Xuan's sneer deepened, and he slowly lowered his head until his face was no more than ten centimeters away from Ao Jun's, a flicker of fire in his eyes. He simply couldn't understand why she could always provoke his anger so easily.

"Uh? Your Highness, could you please not get so close?" The sudden appearance of the tall figure made Ao Jun's mind go blank. The invisible pressure made her unable to say what she wanted to say, and the warmth on her face made her feel a little helpless. She could only truthfully ask the prince, who had been speaking nicely but suddenly got too close, to move away a little.
